Can anyone help me with connecting to Mavenlink API

In the API Connector plug-in, there are three options here to connect to OAuth2 API.
The first Method is “OAuth2 Password Method” :
it seems to be easy, I have a username and password but I can not find any "Token endpoint (POST) in [Mavenlink API documentation](https://developer.mavenlink.com/beta/).
Another method is “OAuth2 User-Agent Flow”:
I have App ID and App Secret but there are dozens of parameters that I can not find in MavenLink.

I was wondering if anyone has experience with this and can guide me through the workflow here…

Do you have a link to the API docs?

Yes, here is the link to API doc:

If you only want to use the Mavenlink API for yourself, or as a backend connector, you must still register an Application, but then you can get an OAuth token for yourself on the Application’s page. If you want your application to be able to use the Mavenlink API on behalf of other users, read the next section.

Which one are you?

Hi Nigel, Thanks for your reply I want to use it as a backend connector. The issue is that by registering app I have App ID and App Secret but there are dozens of parameters that I can not find in MavenLink documentation but plugin need that to work…

Ok, understood.

So you just need to use a bearer token.

Where xxxx is from Settings/API/Application
